Report

Great trip to La Bocana!

Travel: no problem
Mice: none
Power: fine
Water: plentiful
Trees: healthy and growing
Weather: warm enough to eat outside for lunch, need a fire in the evenings and mornings
Things missing: hose from outside (someone stole it)
Projects accomplished: kitchen totally cleaned and re-organized, rooms vacuumed with new shop vac,
Propane: out. Romulo will get new big tank by December 26 and Sharon has the two small empty tanks with her - will be bought back filled

Here are other details of the trip:

We saw the wild horses right from our house - they are above the road. 2 babies.

We watched the fishermen dive to gather sea urchins all morning right in front of the house. They are very brave.


We hiked to the other side of the lagoon and found some great coves with tide pools. Tons of sea life!

A storm was on the way and the sky was incredible.
This is Kiko - he works for Sergio and he collects arrowheads from La Bocana. He showed us his collection:

Quite impressive.



My friend Lisa Marie spent about two hours scrubbing the stove, cleaning the knobs and making that old thing shine:
Here's a photo of the bbq if anyone has the notion to buy new guts for it:

  1. I will work on the grill parts - is the grating intact?

  2. Either that or I will bring down my small grill to donate.

  3. yes - the grating is intact. We used it to cook some stuff over the fire

  4. I think a new regulator is the most important thing. It is gummed up and blocking the flow. Maybe the burner needs to be replaced too, but not so sure...

  5. When you say the other side of the lagoon, you mean on the beach toward the cement plant? That looks pretty cool!
    Do you know if that dive school is open year round?

  6. yes, towards the cement plant. It was really low tide so we were able to go down to some neat tide pools. We saw starfish and all sorts of little fish.
